The seed of rain is general and is indi cated for alt crops Heil fell over the central and eastern counties on the 22d, bot io Spartauburg, Union, . Orangeburg, Barnwell, and Copeton only was any considerable damage done, and over small areas in those counties. The dry weather was favorable for cultivation ; farm work made rapid progress, and field crops are free from grass and weeds. Late planted seed are not all up, and large areas c remain to- be planted to corn and ? cotton, should the ground become softened sufficiently to permit prepar ation within the next fortnight. Where moisture :s lacking, corn is turning yellow, and late plantings are Bot up. Over about half the State the crop is In good condition, and over the more easterly counties is being laid by. Worms and grass hoppers have damaged corn in places. The cool weather was unfavorable for cotton, which is making slow growth, asd in a few localities is in fested by lice. Late planting not up. Sea island cotton, has good stands. Late tobacco settings have poor stands, and in a few localities the planteare dying for want of mois ture. Early plantings doing well. Worms have appeared in one county. Wheat is ripening, and harvesting has begun. Wheat and oats are below former expectations, the latter being a short crop generally for fall sows, and a failure for spring sown. The weather has been favorable for harvesting Riee sa doing well io most districts, and bas-good stands. .In Colletoo, some fields are infested by caterpillars. Hoeing bas began in the Georgetown^ district, and is weU advanced elsewhere. Melons, sugar cane, and minor crops generally continue promising Truck farms io tba Charleston district were visited by heavy rains, and are greatly improved. Some few peas have been planted os stubble lands, but the ground is gener ally too dry. No improveme.it in the fruit prospects. EXTRACTS FROM CORRESPONDENT'S RE PORTS.

Scbley'8 Shrewdness. Whatever may be the merits of the Sao peon-Sch ley controversy, it must be admitted that Sooley has the advan tage of the situation io that be bas not written a magasine article about the Santiago battle, and be declares thet be will not. His declination to write meena a pecuniary loss, for it can well bs imagined that the magazines would pey a stiff price for a "hoi" article from his p*n. His view of the matter is somewhat uoiquo, as expressed in an Omaha interview when he said : No, I have not written anything and have deolined all requests for contribu tions of a literary kind. I do not believe that those who make history or assist io making history should write it .Their field of vision is necessarily limited end they view it differently from one who might obliquely see the entire situation. Theo, again, there are personal interests that should be eliminated and the simple facis should bo banded down to subsequent generations. ..It is facts tbat the people want, and when the facts are is their possession they do not have to go to a normal school to deduct conclusions Yet be managed to ge , in a sarcastic stroke at bis army and navy brethren who have been filling pages after pages of the illustrated papers with their accounts of bow "me and Betsy killed the bar." And his "normal school" remark is a neat hit at the numerous article? which have endeavored to show that the glory should be Sampson's. Scbley has a way of appealing to the people which is very fetching and he seems to live up to bis name. We imagine be would make a good politician.-The State if "Ont of Sorts," Cross aod Peevish, take Dr. M. . Simmons Liver Medicine. Cheer fulness will retarn and life acquires sew zest.
